I routinely now work with people who never experienced the world without the internet.

One of the people I work with didn't know what a tractor feed printer is when I mentioned it to him. And this is an IT (networking) guy.

Maybe it's terminology? I had them as a kid but referred to them as "dot matrix".

tractor feed use the tearable holed paper to feed and might or might not be dot matrix, which is how ink gets transferred to paper, you can still find tractor feed lasers around
